NOTES:
DIRECTOR, CENTER OF OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
Department of Operational Sciences
Graduate School of Engineering and Management
Air Force Institute of Technology


The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) is seeking applications and nominations for the position of Director, Center for Operational Analysis (COA). The COA is a multidisciplinary research and education center focused on defense-related operational modeling and analysis to enhance war-fighter efficiency and effectiveness at all levels. The Director is responsible for strengthening existing partnerships, enhancing the visibility, relevance and excellence of the research portfolio; and attracting high quality research personnel. The COA resides within the Department of Operational Sciences (see http://www.afit.edu/en/ens/index.cfm) which is one of six departments in AFIT’s Graduate School of Engineering and Management.

AFIT offers a unique blend of academic and military cultures as the fully-accredited graduate school of the United States Air Force located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) near Dayton, Ohio. This site provides an ideal environment for our 130 graduate faculty and 800 graduate students to collaborate with other organizations co-located at WPAFB, including the headquarters for Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Research Laboratory, Aeronautical Systems Center, and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center. AFIT’s Department of Operational Sciences offers defense-focused, research-based M.S. and Ph.D. programs in operations research and logistics management to over 150 graduate students. The COA supports faculty members’ research projects (currently in excess of $4M per annum) through senior-level sponsor interactions, advocating selected initiatives, maintaining a physical computational laboratory of 1560 ft sq., coordinating the efforts of 14 research and support staff, and promoting technology transfer of research results.

The COA Director position includes tenure-track faculty rank in the Department of Operational Sciences. The successful candidate must possess an earned doctorate in Operations Research, Logistics, Industrial Engineering, or closely related field with experience in graduate-level research development and consultative activities related to defense sector operational problems. Candidates should exhibit a publication record, experience in obtaining external research funding, managing multiple projects and budgets involving personnel at various levels, and sound academic and professional leadership abilities. Significant prior experience with the Department of Defense is strongly preferred. AFIT is a member of the NSF ADVANCE LEADER Consortium (www.wright.edu/leader/) and candidates are expected to share AFIT’s commitment to this and other campus diversity initiatives.

Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications. To apply, send a signed letter of application summarizing relevant qualifications and research leadership philosophy, a vita, and the names and contact information of three professional references (including email addresses) to:
